Easter Holiday - CANCELLED!
6TH APRIL - 17TH APRIL 2020
Regretfully, due to the wide and rapid spread of the Corona Virus, this year we will not be delivering our usual half-term holiday programme. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause, but the health and wellbeing of our members and staff have to always be our first consideration.
